SECONDARY EDUCATION
The Bachelor of Arts degree in Secondary Education
is available to students preparing to teach English,
mathematics, or social studies on the secondary
school level (grades 9–12). The teaching field should
be selected as early as possible so appropriate freshman
and sophomore courses may be taken.
Each curriculum may lead to a double major composed
of the major concentration in the teaching field and
the corresponding content major. To receive a double
major in Secondary Education and the selected content area, a Change of Academic Program form must
be completed to declare both majors. To achieve a
double major, the appropriate plan of study under
Secondary Education must be followed and all major
requirements from both programs must be satisfied.
Specific courses and sequences have been designated
to meet requirements for those planning to teach. The
professional education courses should be completed
in sequence.
